Zach Frazer won the Connecticut starting quarterback job after a competition in the spring and fall camp with Cody Endres. But Frazer hurt his knee against North Carolina in Week 2, opening the door for Endres to take over.
Frazer is healthy enough now to play. But Huskies coach Randy Edsall said at his weekly press conference Tuesday that it's still Endres' job, and that he told both the quarterbacks that on Monday.
"It's unfortunate Zach was No. 1 coming out of the spring and then in the fall and gets injured," Edsall said, as quoted by the Hartford Courant's Desmond Conner. "Cody has played well, just look at the numbers, he has performed very, very well and better than Zach has. I told Zach his job is to be ready mentally and physically to go. He's a play away. I still think he's a bit rusty after watching him on Sunday."
It's hard to argue against the numbers. Endres has completed 66.3 percent of his passes and has three touchdowns and no interceptions. Frazer has completed 51.2 percent with two touchdowns and four picks.
Edsall also said linebacker Scott Lutrus, who returned last week after a three-game absence only to suffer another stinger injury, is doubtful for this week's game against Louisville. Jory Johnson would start in his place. Freshman Erik Kuraczea will start at left guard over junior Mathieu Olivier, and sophomore Mike Ryan is the No. 1 left tackle ahead of senior Dan Ryan.
